Tuesday, November 23 8th Grade Writing

Daily writing prompt
Go back to last Thursday’s prompt and choose one of the three possible topics you listed there. Then you should create a "wish list" of what you need to know about that topic. There should be at least 10 items on that list. Remember to look back at the essential questions for magazine articles. This prompt should be done as comment under this blog posting.

After you finish responding you should begin your research, trying to find information about your topic, and you should try to get all the items on your wish list done. Save this information as a Word document in your files, and be sure to save the web address from the sources you are using.
